Sorry, I just looked at my notes.

The environment variables should be...

setenv auto-boot? false
setenv boot-device?ata0/@0:0
reset-all

I have also found that once installed, read: boot from the HD not CD.
You can set real-base and load-base to F00000 and 600000, respectively
or leave them w/the defaults of -1 and 4000, respectively.

If you get your network connection (de0) working, please let me know
how.

Thanks.

S
